4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful book, 17 Oct 2005
I read this book whilst expecting my first child and found that, although it waffles on a bit in places the principles it teaches were very calming and empowering and I certainly drew on what it had taught me during labour. It seemed to help me focus and get through it. The descriptions and diagrams of the exercises although much further into the book than I had expected were quite easy to follow.
